Keas Term 3 Week 3 – Twig Rafts

Forests are like Earth’s natural water factories - they collect, store, and distribute water to keep everything thriving. In this meet we’ll discover some of the watery highways that flow through forests. Then it's time to set sail by letting your creativity flow and making your own miniature raft using twigs, flax, leaves and grasses and watch it float downstream.
